初中生英语扩展阅读
英语，是我国中学生最为头疼的一门学科，不仅需要大量的记忆单词，还需要能读懂英语文章（片段）。在中学阶段，众多的学生英语成绩差，普遍是出在英语阅读理解上的问题。因为阅读理解，在英语考试试卷上占的分值大，而且对学生的做题技巧要求也很高。
那么，初中生如何提高英语阅读理解能力呢？
捷登老师指出，提高阅读理解能力是中学生学习英语的主要目的。高效的阅读方法，提高阅读能力，是可以通过一定的方式来进行的。当然，同时促进学生听说和写的能力，可以使学生的英语综合应用能力得到整体提高。
提高英语阅读理解能力的具体做法有哪些呢？有以下几点
一、单词量需要加大
文章阅读，首先是可以看懂，看得懂就意味着单词的需要积累很多。没有陌生单词的阻碍，在阅读浏览上则会很顺利，理解也会很清晰。
在学习阶段中，要有意识的积累单词，尤其是中考、高考必考的单词，这对考试时是有很大的帮助的。
二、精读课文尤其是精彩文段
课本知识，是基础，是所有英语学习延伸的基石，所以想要流畅的阅读文章，就需要用心的学习日常的课本文章。泛读与精读，双重交叉。精读的作用在于，认真分析文段的结构与布局，在讲明这篇文章时，作者采用了哪些知识内容，在分析整理中，提高阅读理解的能力，同时也要自我思考。
三、多看多读英文刊物
除了学习课本知识、课内文段，还需要每天阅读英文刊物、小说，最好是哪类的题材都有，生活、社会、体育、文化、人物等等，增加课外英文读物，是可以很大程度上提高思考力和逻辑力。另外，也会积累大量的词汇量。
这不但对英语阅读有帮助，还会对自己的文化修养有很大的益处。
四、定期的试题练习掌握做题技巧
不得不不说，我们学习英语，最大的关系就是应对中考、高考，那么定期的试题练习是不可少的。英语阅读理解的试题，可以从往年的真题中挑选，定时定量的做题。在作答后，参照给出的答案，检查自己的错误，以及分析出错的原因，同时也要注意是否有正确理解到出题人的意图，是否顺利的躲避出题陷阱。
在严谨的练习中，提高自己的做题能力，也在做题中不断加强自己的阅读理解能力，循序渐进，日后定会能力超强。
五、英语阅读理解能力的提高离不开语文学习
首先英语是一门语言，是和语文具有同样的意义，在阅读理解上是异曲同工，所以想要提高英语阅读理解能力，语文就需要努力学好。
以上就是关于初中生如何提高英语阅读理解能力的相关内容，希望可以帮助到大家。最后，捷登老师还建议初中生们，要养成良好的学习习惯，拥有正确的学习态度，不要对英语保有敌意，也不要认为英语是无趣的，任何学科都有存在的价值与意义，只是你没有发现而已。所以，想要提高英语阅读理解能力，就要爱上英语，对它有兴趣，那么成绩自然就有进步。
㈡ 初中生想提高英语阅读能力，看一些什么课外阅读比较好
新华书店外语阅读那一块有一系列叫“书虫”的，有初中生阶段的读物的，一般都是薄薄的一本，绿皮的，都是一些比较经典的名著简化之后的版本，如汤姆索亚历险记等，可以尝试一下。
㈢ 如何对初中学生的英语进行拓展学习
英语学习的六大原则
我在英语学习方面是十分幸运的。在下过硬工夫的过程中，我从未感到英语学习的单调和苦闷，也未感到英语学习有多么艰难。我读过一些英语名家谈体会的书，其中有中文译本，也有英文原文本。这些书给了我很多启发，使我能够在结合自身学习英语的方法和经验的基础上，总结出符合常识的学习方法，并上升到符合英语学习规律的原则。如果你能按照这些原则一步一个脚印地去做，认认真真地去学习和体味，那么你就定能学好英语。 英语学习应遵循以下六大原则。这些原则都是"常识"性的。正如美国总统林肯所说：一个人必须依据语言、逻辑和"简单的常识"来决定问题和建立自己的行动计划。在学习英语的过程中，你按照常理去做，你就可能成功。你违背了常理，就不可能成功。当然，成功与否还取决于你的"努力"。 这一斗卖次，你若按照常理去做，并且下工夫，那你就要成功了！ （一）简单原则 学习英语：从答春简单的开始 运用英语：简单－好、更简单－更好、最简单－最好 上大学的时侯，英语老师让我们大量阅读英语。有些同学就借来原著，第一页看下来就有20几个生词，第二页还有20几个……到了第五页已不知道第一页所云；到了第十页已不知道前九页讲的是什么。阅读变得异常艰难和单调，体会不到有任何收获，读英语原著变成了查英语词典、记忆生词的过程，变成个苦差事。因此很少有人能坚持下去，就放弃了。其中有人又做了第二次努力，结果还是放弃。原因何在？我想它违背了"循序渐进"的常理。 所谓"循序渐进"就要求你从"简单"开始。学习、使用英语都要遵守简单原则。当年，我碰巧是从英语简易读物开始的。现在，书店里有好多套把原著简写成的"简易读物"。我先读那些用500～800词简写成的读物，后来又读用800～1500词简写成的读物，再后来就读用1500～2500词简写的作品……我能读进去，因为我读懂了；读懂的感觉特别好。当一个人有了成就感时自信心就诞生了，并越来越强，也就产生了更大的兴趣。外国的英语文学作品仿佛带我走进了一个不同的国家，一个不同的文化，一个不同的生活，结识了一些不同的朋友。在走入另样的文化、生活、人物，风俗的过程中就产生了一种强烈的神往，一种强烈的欲望。每时每刻都想读！ 只有从简单的开始，才容易入门，才容易产生"兴趣"，才容易把事情进行下去。英语阅读应遵守"简单原则"，听、说、写都应从最简单的开始，因为简单原则有巨大的优点： 1、造就成就感，培养自信。 2、增加兴趣。 3、语言朗朗上口。 4、易于学以致用。 但是很多中国学生对简单的语言往往不屑一顾，只求理解而不去尝试着使用自己学到的东西。中国学生在学英语中最喜欢追求一个字--"难"。尽管学了很多难的东西，却不会"用"。而事实上，简单的东西如能灵活、准确地使用才是真正重要的。比如从口语来说，人们并不是看一个人会说多么难的单词，关键在于看他能否熟练运用清销耐最简单的单词、句型、语法来表达情感、思想。英语国家人们日常生活的交流是通过有限数量的单词和简单的句型来完成的。 Plain English（简洁英语）在英语国家已成为趋势：即在说或写英文时都力求简单。而中国学生尽管学了很多难词，复杂的结构，但就连用简单词和结构来表达思想都做不到；有时用了很大的词，一方面不妥，再者也很难让别人明白。其实当你透彻理解英语中的"小词"，"简单表达方式"时，才能熟练地用简单英语交际。 当然这并不是说"难的单词"和"复杂句型"一点儿也不能用，或者说没有用，我只是说应该少用或尽量不用。但目前"简单英语"即是"最好英语"的潮流是千真万确的。其实你同外国人面对面交流，你就会惊喜的发现，他们讲的英语是那么的简单，你甚至会反问自己学了多年的复杂英语用处何在？ 学会容易的东西，并把容易的东西融会贯通地加以运用才是英语学习的关键所在。 （二）量的原则 多－好，更多－更好，最多－最好 中国人学习英文，精读、精听、精说有余，但泛读、泛听远远不够，大量的乱说就更不够了。没有量的变化，怎么能有质的飞跃？因此，中国人学习英语在注重"精"的同时，必须更加注重"泛"。比如学习英语阅读，如果没有读到足够的数量，就无法熟练地阅读英语。若要学习听力，那就大量地听各种磁带，听英语广播，看英语电视，看英文电影。如要学习英语口语，那就尽量多说英文。学习英语不能太急于求成，因为只有有了"量"，才能有"质"的飞跃。 量的积累是必须的。许多人学习英语时，往往有一种误解，认为一本书就代表一个水平。比如，当读完一本初级阅读书时，就会说"我的阅读水平达到初级了"，学完一本高级阅读书，便狂欢"我达到高级阅读水平了"。刚刚读了一本初级口语书，就认为已有初级口语水平。读了一本高级口语书，就认为已有高级口语水平。其实，英语学习有一个"点－线－面"的关系。一本书只是一个点，无数本书连成一条线，更多的线形成一个面。所谓"水平"就是面的问题。就拿阅读来说，首先要读大量初级书。当你读完30本初级读物书后，在你读第31本初级读物时已没有几个生词，能轻松地读懂，并进入作者所描绘的世界时，那你就可以读中级水平的读物了。仅仅读过一本初级水平的读物，基础根本没打好，就急于读一个更高水平的读物，那必然就会"欲速则不达"，自然不可能学好。也就是说，无论处于何等英语水平，在相应水平上的量的积累是必须的。英语听力、口语、写作的学习亦应遵循这一原则。 语言的学习是培养一种感觉，而感觉要靠数量的积累来培养。俗话说水到渠成。同样的道理，达到了一定的量，"语感"就产生了。这时应再把感觉上升到理念，将理念融入到自己的思维中，英语就能运用自如。请注意量的积累在基础阶段最为重要。金字塔的魅力就在于它完美的建筑结构。有宽广深厚的基础，才能造就塔尖的辉煌。学好英文的道理是同样的。基础必须打牢，也只有在基础打牢的前提下，才能学好英文。 在量的积累阶段，也应该遵循正确的学习方法。以阅读为例，一套简易读物分六级，每一级有五六本，一本只有100页左右，不超过一个星期就可以读完一个级的读物。你在读的过程中，不要太多拘泥于语法，可以偶尔体会一下语法的作用，但主要精力放在理解小说的主题上。要注意，我们是在通过英语获取信息，了解文化、生活，吸收新的思想。你要读进去，才能读得快。不要研究语言，要树立数量第一的观念，尽量快速地读。这样一来，坚持读三四个月，英语的阅读水平就会迅速提高。 总有人问，要花多长时间才能学好英语。这问题不好回答，因为没有衡量学好英文的标准，并且学习英语的速度也因人而异。但有一点是肯定的，那就是你必须有正确的学习英文的方法。实际上，学习英语如按照正确的方法去做，你很快就会入门。从入门到能用英语交际也就是一二年的工夫。因此，如果一直是按照正确的方法做，你很快就能学好英语。 （三）重复原则 英语有句谚语"Repetition is the mother of skills（重复是技能之母）"。你可以回忆一下你学习任何一种技能的过程。无论是游泳还是骑自行车，都是重复同一类动作的过程。 任何技能的获得，当然包括英语这项语言技能，均来自重复。一种事情重复多了，便产生了感觉和深刻的把握。因此，在发展英语技能时，也应该遵循重复原则。比如，在阅读时，当你读过20本初级读物后，就要在这20本中找出一本自己最感兴趣的来读10遍甚至20遍。同样的，当你读过20本中级水平的英语读物后，就应该在这20本中找出一本自己最感兴趣的来读10遍甚至20遍。学习听力和口语也要遵守重复原则。比如说，在听了20盘初级英语听力磁带后，就要在这20盘已听过的磁带中选出一盘，再把这盘磁带听上20遍。在刚开始学习英语口语时，重复原则就更为重要。因为，刚学习英语口语，背诵一些英语后，就找同伴来练，反复重复已学内容。 "重复原则"与"量的原则"缺一不可，要有机地把两者统一起来。学习英语中的任一项技能：阅读、听力、口语、写作，都必须在量的原则的基础上，再反复重复。英语中一定有一些你理解的很透并且已经掌握了的单词或句型，你可以灵活自如地使用它们来交际。请注意，这些熟练掌握了的词和句型一定是你重复过无数遍的，这些被重复的东西已经变成了你的一部分，因此你能把它们运用自如了。重复是人记忆的最重要途径，重复使人准确、深刻理解事物本质、内在规律。 量的原则要求你多读多听，多说多写，强调一个"泛"字。而重复原则要求你将同一件事做很多遍，也就是强调一个"精"字。如此看来两者相互矛盾。但是矛盾是必然存在的。我想世界上最好的东西一定是矛盾的。因为只有两个矛盾体，才能产生最大的动力使主体前进。好的英语学习方法也应力求矛盾的统一。既要有数量的积累，把面铺开，又要同时将一本阅读书、口语书、一盘磁带、一部电影学透彻。在量的基础上把部分内容学"精"，这是很重要的。 （四）模仿原则 语言是人们在长时间的实践中形成的认同符号，其运用"规则"可依。孩子学语言是个模仿的过程，他们每天模仿父母、周围的人、电视等一切可以模仿的东西，并且模仿得越来越象，突然有一天，他们停止模仿了，并且逐渐形成融合自己个性特征的语言方式。 作为英语学习者，必须模仿已有的东西，不经历到位的模仿的"创新"意味着错误。创新源于模仿，模仿是学习英语的基础，模仿是创新的基础。只有在你通过模仿，真正掌握了英语的灵魂、精髓，然后，才可能谈到自己的语言风格。 学习英语时，模仿原则是必不可少的。比如在学习语音时，要大量地重复练习音标、单词发音，朗读句子和文章。而在练习过程中，尽量模仿"音标发音和单词发音，同时模仿句子的音调和节奏。模仿对学好语音至关重要。如果你要学习英语口语?模仿亦很重要。在学口语时，要尽量模仿你已经读过的东西和已经听过的东西。当然，如果你模仿你已经用"重复原则"所读过的和所听过的，效果就会更好。如果你要学习英文写作，模仿的重要性更是显而易见。你要读各种不同类型的文章、名家的文章，重复地读过多遍而能真正理解了后，就要一丝不苟地去模仿。模仿得越像越好，这是英语学习最基本的常识。 我的一位朋友英语口语很棒，当他谈到学口语的秘诀时，他总是说"外国人怎么说，我就怎么说；外国人怎么写，我就怎么写。"真可谓一语道破天机！ （五）突击原则 若想学好英语，需要采取一个个"速战速决"策略，找到"快速进入角色"的感觉。只有这样，才能有足够的动力和兴趣把学习坚持到底。你还记得你是如何学会骑自行车、游泳或开车的吗？你是否是通过短时间的"大量突击"练习才掌握这些技能的呢？学习技能的要素是一样的，那就是去无数次的突击训练。当然，学英语或许不像学会骑自行车、游泳那么简单，但驾驭和使用英语语言的确是掌握和培养一种技能。学习一种技能，突击原则是最重要的。 我在学习英语时就运用了这种突击强化的方法。我最初开始学习英语，先突击英语阅读三个月。从简易读物开始，坚持天天最大量地来读。通过突击英语阅读，不但学到了词汇，还熟悉了各种语法现象，更了解了一些西方的生活、文化和思想。紧接着，又去强化听力，经过三个月的听力突击之后，再回过头强化英语阅读。强化完阅读后，再强化听力。强化完听力后，再强化英语口语。按照这个原则，进行阅读－听力－口语－写作的突击强化。按照这种方法来学英语，进步是飞快的。 英语学习从某种意义上说是强化正确意念的过程：强化单词发音的意念，强化单词用法的意念，强化句型的意念，强化组织思想的意念。比如，你若要突破语音，就应该安排一段时间（比如15天）。在这15天内，天天学语音，听语音，模仿语音，学"死去活来"。15天之后，感觉语音有了大的进步，掌握得差不多了就可以停下来。请注意，在模仿的同时，你还应该把自己的语音给录下来，认认真真地找出自己发音的问题，加以纠正。过一段时间后，再按照同样的方法来突击语音。你这样反复突击五到六次，你的语音定将成为最棒的。句型、阅读、语法、听力、口语也都要有这样一种反复突击强化的过程。 一个人的精力不可能总是充沛的，重复做同一件事情就会变得单调，因此就要采取间隔突击强化的方法。英语学习的过程应该是由一个个强化突击阶段所组成的。 （六）兴趣原则 "兴趣是最好的老师"，学习英语首先要有兴趣并努力发展这一兴趣。如果你对英语没有兴趣，那就不会有持续的干劲和动力，英语学习将很难坚持下去。反之，一旦你对英语有了兴趣并努力地发展这一兴趣，那么，你就会不知不觉地去做，带着强烈的欲望去读英语，听英语，说英语，写英语。你就会主动地找人去练英语，找一切可以提高你英语的机会去提高你的英语水平。不知不觉中你的英语就会提高。不知不觉中你就把英语学会了。所以"兴趣"对学好英语有举足轻重的作用。 然而，尽管知道兴趣的重要性，但很少有人有意识、有步骤地去培养和发展自己对英语的兴趣。 那么，应如何培养英语学习的兴趣呢？ 发现和挖掘兴趣 每个人都有自己的兴趣爱好。把自己的兴趣与英语学习结合起来，是英语学习成功的关键条件。 我对小说很感兴趣，我当年学英语是从大量阅读英文小说Charles Dickens（查尔斯·狄更斯）的简写本读起。19世纪英国人的生活及思想情感在狄更斯的小说里得到了淋漓尽致的展现。进入英语的天地，我畅游在狄更斯的世界里。不知不觉中我学到了许多语言及语言以外的东西：我不仅掌握了大量的词汇、各种各样的语法规则，而且对英国人的生活、文化、习俗也有了深刻的了解。 我入迷了，天天读，从狄更斯到马克·吐温再到海明威，这些小说带我进入一个英语世界，使我在不知不觉中学会了英语。但在阅读时，我根本不想自己正在学习英语，只是努力地读进去。后来，我看了大量的美国电影，电影使我着迷。我在看电影的时候，也不去想自己是不是在学英语。因为我是在兴趣的驱使下做这些事情的，所以做得特别投入，大脑积极地工作，无意识的记忆效果最佳。我同意这种说法：在你没有意识到自己在学习的时候，才是你学习得最多的时候。但请记住，前提是你正从中得到最大乐趣。 我有一个朋友很喜欢股票。他到了美国，每天24小时都有股票电视节目，他就兴致勃勃地去看，但无论如何都看不懂，于是跑来问我。我对中文讲述的股票行情都很困惑，更不必说英语了！于是就对他说我也不懂，但告诉了他如何学会看懂的方法。我说 ："你首先找一份报纸的商业版，然后再借助字典阅读所有的内容，这样你就积累了关于股票的简单语汇。此后，你有空就去看股票的电视节目，这些语汇很快就会从纸上活起来，出现在你的耳边，再加上你有股票方面的知识，很快就能看懂那些节目了。"于是，他真的按照这个方法去做了，因为他对股票的确很有兴趣。等我再去看他时，股票节目他全都看懂了，还边看边给我讲解。另外，通过学习看电视股票的节目，他看别的英语节目时，能听懂的也多了。 一个人如果能够准确界定自己的兴趣、所爱在什么地方--特别是这个兴趣与一个长远的目标相结合，那么他实现自己的目标就很简单了。喜欢电影就看英语的，爱看小说就读英语的，热衷于广播就听英语的……只要通过英语这个媒体做他喜爱的事，他就走向了英语学习的成功之路。 兴趣在"实践"中产生和发展 两个人在一起谈如何学会游泳，谈一会儿就烦了。但是，如果他们能到水里体会一下游泳的感觉，并努力地去学着游，他们就会渐渐爱上这项运动，一旦爱上了这件事，即使不让他去做，他也非要做。我小的时候就很爱游泳，有的时候为了游泳甚至都逃学。 兴趣就是这样在一次次实践中产生和发展的。你对一种事物的热爱在实际运用中产生，并变得越来越深。如果在学英语的过程中，你能够尽早地尝试使用所学的英语的快感，那么你学习英语的兴趣将日益增加。具体地说，就是你一开始学英语就要找机会来用英语。比如说，你刚开始学英语，就去找"老外"聊天，很快就学会口语了。还有，你想提高听力水平，恰巧你喜欢听新闻。那末，如果你坚持每天听英语的新闻，很快就会把听力提高上去。和热爱英语的人在一起"爱"是可以相互传递的。如果一个人对英语充满了热爱与激情，与他在一起的你对英语也自然而然就产生喜爱。我在大学的几个朋友有一个共同的特点：爱英语是没有条件的。别人那种爱英语的疯狂会使你也深深爱上英语。所以你的确应该与喜爱英语的人交朋友，这样，你们对英语的爱就会相互影响、变得更强烈。比如，你有几个喜好学英语的朋友，你们就会组成英语学习小组，一起学习阅读、口语、写作。几个朋友在一起，就用英语聊天，一起讨论英语学习中的体会，相互问问题。如果其中的一个英语水平显著，那么其他人都可以向他的水平看齐。当然，水平高的也可以学习其他人的优点。这样一来，每人的进步都会很快。 树立目标 做事想要成功，就必须树立目标。一旦有了目标，你就会有足够的时间和精力来学好英语。长远的目标应该把学英语同民族的强大、祖国的发展联在一起，同促进世界各国人民之间的交流和理解联在一起。当然，还应该有无数的短期目标。短期目标可以是通过一个英语考试，为了考试而拼命学习英语。短期目标也可以是去世界上任何一个英语国家求学，在出国留学之前，你也要下工夫学习英语。短期目标还可以到世界上各个地方去旅游，找到一份更令人满意的工作。比如成龙，因为会英语，他不仅可以在中国拍电影，还可以到英语世界去拍，呈现在他眼前的是一个更加缤纷的世界。因此，一个人如果能够通过一个具体的想象，看到自己学好英语之后的灿烂的未来，即使他学习英语有挫折，也会坚持不懈地学下去，直到学好为止。 投资增加兴趣 我对美术作品很感兴趣，我买的艺术品越多，我对它们的爱就越深，因为这样我才有机会真正深入到我喜爱的东西中去："陷得越深，爱得越深"。如果你喜欢听英文歌曲，那就去买磁带、CD，你的兴趣会随着欣赏不同的音乐而增长。如果你喜欢英语，你就要买各种各样的英文书籍，各种各样的英语磁带，各种各样的英语报纸杂志，你还要参加不同的培训班，这些投资会使你找到英语的趣味性，并使你发现英语给你带来的奇妙世界。当你体味到英语内在的趣味之后，进入英语语言所带来的信息世界，你的英语学习的兴趣自然会提高。 综上五条，英语学习的关键是找到突破口。你喜欢阅读，那不妨从简易读物开始，你喜欢歌曲，不妨就从英语歌曲听起，你喜欢报纸，就从报纸读起，你喜欢电影，就先看英语电影。记住，做任何事情兴趣是最重要的！

The best way to strengthen your resolve and increase your will power is to thouroughly read one difficult article a day. Difficult articles will increase your vocabulary, improve your reading comprehension and supply you with valuable sentence patterns and grammar to enhance your spoken English. This terrific habit will also give you a strong sense of achievement and encourage you to improve other areas of your life. Once you train yourself to make your difficult article a part of your daily routine, you will even grow to enjoy it. Reading difficult articles is just like vigorous exercise. At first it is extremely hard, you need to push yourself to finish. Eventually, just as your body grows used to the sweat and effort, your mind will also adjust and welcome the challenge. In fact, people who exercise regularly feel terrible when they don't have an opportunity to exercise! You can develop the same kind of relationship with difficult articles! You can use them to nourish your mind and your spirit until you reach the point where you feel lost without them.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[阴沟、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说：“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢？答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄奄一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多――她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心。”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的话。他那样地死去，不责怪任何人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样――这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的话――我饥肠辘辘――我衣不蔽体――我无家可归――我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心――然而，你却为我做了这一切。

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
㈤ 如何提高初中生英语课外阅读能力
如何提高学生的英语课外阅读
如何培养学生英语课外阅读能力：我们提倡运用上下反复平行交叉的交互式阅读法，引导学生从整体到局部，从语篇到语句，从大意到细节，利用语言形式去构建全文的语叉图像，再利用这个语义图像去理解段落、句子、词组单词的语言形式，从而帮助学生把语言图式、内容图式和结构图式完整有机地联系在一起。
一、英语课外阅读的必要性
阅读是吸收英语语言材料、增加语言知识、扩大词汇量的重要手段，而且阅读能力是一种语言的综合能力，提高阅读能力能为口语能力和写作能力的发展打好基础，也能使学生从英语阅凄中认识学习英语的真正价值，体验学习英语的乐趣，树立学好英语的自信心。所以，学生所学的语言知识能否巩固，言语技能能否得到培养与发展，在很大程度上取决于学生能否真正学会阅读。·
二、学生课外阅读活动的调查与分析
对学生的英语课外l’列读活动状况进行调查和分析，旨在发现学生课外阅读的特点，比较其差异：以便进一步有效地开展系统的课外阅读活动。通过这一调查及统计，我们发现68％的学生几乎不进行英语课外阅读，而且男、女生在阅读巾的差异也是客观存在的。其中由于读不懂英文课外阅读材料而放弃的约80％，没有时间进行阅读的约90％，没有兴趣读的约86％。·经过和学生交流得知，导致这个不良结果的主要冈素为：课后作业较多，阅渎时间没有保证；没有阅读的兴趣；只疲于应付语法题目。我们也发现，部分学生对课外阅读重要性的认识明确，但是不少学生没有养成良好的课外阅读习惯，没有掌握科学的阅读策略，因此还需要教师的有效指导。．
三、课外阅读方法指导
1．精选材料，扩大范围，培养兴趣。首先，我们要帮助学生理顺课内与课外关系：课外阅读对课内知识有补充和促进作用，二者相辅相成，必须把它们紧密地结合起来，使课外阅读成为课内学习的延续。其次。兴趣是成功的原动力，材料要有其发展性，体裁要多样化，要讲求趣味性和时效性。另外，我们要培养学生发散性的元认知结构，注意材料的内容，把握语言难度，经常能够结合当前课本所学内容。阅读材料的难度适中，由浅入深，逐步升级。
2．培养学生良好阅读习惯，强化阅读意识。要养成良好的阅读习惯，我们必须从点滴做起。在学生进入中学时，就告诉他们课外阅读的重要性和必要性，并做到及时指导。心理因素对阅读的影响也很大。不少学生在阅读时缺乏信心，或被动，或急于求成。我们及时帮助学生克服心理障碍，使他们心平气和主动积极地参与这一活动。为此，我们设立并完善了一些奖励措施和评估办法。此外，我们为学生营造良好的英语氛围，在班级里创建英语阅读环境。
3．指导学生掌握阅读策略，培养高效阅读的能力。
在课外阅读教学中，我们用不同的阅读策略来激发学生的阅读兴趣，培养学生的阅读能力。①提倡平时多大声朗读，背诵精彩段落和文章，以培养英语语感。②在英语课外阅读中做到精渎和泛读有机结合。当学生的阅读能力达到一定程度后，我们要求学生掌握以下常规的阅读策略：默读、略读、跳读、预测、猜测词义、细读、寻找关键词和主题句等等方法。在初中阶段的专项练习中，我们较为侧重教授学生如何寻找主题句和细读。我们的课外阅读是相对于教科书上的材料而言，它不是来自课本上的，而是教师根据不同年级，不同层次所选择推荐的不同题材、不同体裁的课外材料。我们不是一味地追求“T”、“F”、等选项，而是用其他更能够调动学生积极性的一些措施，比如对于叙述性的文章我们在阅读之前，向学生示例故事结构，包括背景、主题、情节、高潮、结局等，这样便于提高学生逻辑思维能力，并促进理解，阅读之后让学生归纳中心思想，进而达到情感目标的培养。③贯彻“整体阅读”法。我们要求学生集中注意力于整个篇章内容，而不是个别词语。在阅读过程中，学生辨认出篇章开头的某些实词、转折词语等关键性词语时，头脑立刻开始了对篇章内容的预测。接着在继续阅读的过程中，通过对部分词语的辨认而不断证实扩展开始时的预测。或者否定它而产生新的预测，最后达到把握文章的前后呼应以及情节联系，综观全文．整体把握，鼓励学生养成“成组视读”的阅读方法，按照意群或句群进行阅读，以提高阅读速率。与此同时，我们提倡运用上下反复平行交叉的交丐=式测读法。引导学生从整体到局部，从语篇到语句，从大意到细节，利用语言形式去构建全文的语义图像，再利用这个语义图像去理解段落、句子、词组单词的语言形式，从而帮助学生把语言图式，内容图式和结构图式完整有机地联系在一起。

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？” asked．
Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”
“Oh yes，I'd love that．”
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule

B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse

㈦ 如何提高初中生英语阅读能力
英语阅读能力的高低直接关系到英语学习的好坏，遗憾的是，我们的阅读教学效果并不尽如人意。由于传统的英语教学过多的承担了词汇、语法等语言基础知识的教学任务，英语教师常把大量的时间、精力用于知识点传授、复习、掌握和操练上，对于阅读训练，尤其是以语篇能力、思维能力和阅读技巧为核心的阅读能力训练不足，导致学生的阅读能力没得到实质的提高。
随着初中英语阅读量不断增加，初中学生思维能力的局限越来越成为阻碍学生提高英语考试成绩的一大障碍。而阅读理解题更是越来越多地检测学生对文章的隐含意义、逻辑结构等的理解和对主旨大意的概括，问题的答案多数隐藏在文章的脉络之中，学生通常无法直接从字面意思中获得，必须开动脑筋、激活思维。因此，要想在英语考试中取得高分，学生必须学会灵活运用分析、综合、归纳、判断、推理等思维方法。由此看来，当前如何提高学生英语阅读能力已成为迫切需要解决的英语教学课题。
影响学生英语阅读能力的因素
不良的阅读习惯
1.出声阅读，此习惯的主要弊端就是影响了阅读速度。出声阅读往往以不同形式表现出来，不一定有声音，有时可能是无声地动动舌，喉，嘴唇等，但这无疑会阻碍眼睛的扫描速度，多了声音这一阶段，所以要训练养成直接利用视觉来阅读的好习惯。
2.过于精读，由于平时英语教学着重于对词组的积累，长句难句的分析，很多学生在实际阅读中，往往边读边分析句子，碰到不懂的单词，停下来查字典。结果是句子读懂了，可对文章的把握却不知所述，不仅影响了阅读速度，还扼杀了阅读兴趣。所以要培养自己猜词的能力，利用上下文意，而不是靠查字典。
3.复读过于频繁，即指读完一句或一段，有回过头来再读一遍。这严重影响了阅读速度。这是学生阅读自信心不强的表现。
（二）忽略阅读技巧
大多数中学生在实际阅读中，都是简单地看似按顺序的操作，先文章，再来做题。有所不知的是，运用了一些阅读技巧之后，会达到事半功倍的效果，如，精读与泛读相结合，略读，寻读，以及猜词的技巧。灵活运用阅读技巧，能让阅读能力有一个质的飞跃。
阅读量小，知识面太窄。大多数学生只在课堂上进行相关阅读训练，很少通过报刊，杂志去丰富自己，对于中西文化的差异的陌生，同样给阅读带来不利影响。
阅读思维的欠缺。部分学生满足于表层理解而忽视深层理解和评价性理解，对于不能在文中直接找到答案的题目，不知所措，缺乏对文章实质的理解及思考，所以要训练总揽全文大意的能力，通过语段归纳，主旨句的分析来提高这方面的能力。
二、如何在英语课堂中有效提高学生英语阅读能力
（一）养成良好的阅读习惯，对于提高阅读能力至关重要，良好的阅读习惯是不通过出声，仅用视觉来完成对文章大意的把握及细节的处理。同时，也把阅读当成是件乐事，选择难度适中，生动有趣的文章对学生进行训练，培养学生的阅读信心，从而养成良好的阅读习惯，提高阅读理解能力。
（二）训练阅读速度，通过对文章难易的判断后，来规定具体时间，如3min 完成短片文章，5min中篇较难的文章，7min难度大的文章。长期坚持这种习惯，阅读速度能不断提高。
（三）增加词语积累。词汇量大小直接影响学生阅读能力，这好比造房子要砖瓦材料，词汇就是阅读英语的砖瓦材料， 没有相当的英语词汇，阅读英语是无法进行的。在平时的英语教学中，要着重对重点词，词组的拓展，运用，以及词性，词形的强调和变化。
（四）拓宽学生知识面，了解文章的文化背景、风土人情。英语被广泛运用于许多国家，有着丰富的人文内涵，随着经济全球化的进程，拓宽知识面，了解世界各地的文化和风土人情，对培养学生的英语阅读能力十分重要。语言交流涉及社会、政治、经济的各个方面，拥有较广知识面的人，看到各类文章都能够读得懂。读懂还不够，还要与文化背景相结合，只有深刻了解文章文化背景、风土人情，经过分析、判断、推理，才能够更好地准确把握文章。在教学过程中，可以摘录一些内容与学生们讨论，交流，让他们能更多的了解文化的差异。?
（五）培养阅读能力，掌握阅读技巧是阅读教学中重点，精读与泛读的巧妙结合，对文章细节的捕捉，就精读细读到段到句。对于与段意，文意的掌握相关的题目，就通过泛读的方式获取。寻读，顾名思义，就是根据题目来寻找答案，这种技巧很直接，通常是任务型，如，人名，地点，时间，原因。可以直接从文章中找到。略读的要点就是有侧重性，当我们要确定文章的主题，作者的观点，文章的风格等，我们可以选择略读这种阅读技巧。猜词技巧可分为以下几种：利用上下文意，利用构词法，如前缀-un，-in，后缀-able，-ful，-ness。利用定义线索，如文中出现which means，be called，that is 等标志性的词。
（六）阅读思维的培养。与其说是培养阅读思维，不如说是培养语感，英语阅读中，语感很重要，语感来源于大量的阅读积累，只有大量的涉猎课外书籍，才能达到语感的质的飞跃，如英语周报阅读版，21世纪报，中国日报英文版，慢慢来，从易到难，从简到难，关键是对英语阅读兴趣的培养，渐渐的会发现自己的语感在潜移默化中提高了。
培养阅读能力，掌握阅读方法是教学中应该长期坚持，且只有经过不懈努力才能取得好的效果。作为教师，我们应该将此项工作不断在教学中总结、完善和提高，力争探索出一种培养学生阅读能力迅速提高的最佳方法。
㈧ 浅谈如何提高初中生英语阅读能力
当今社会知识日新月异，科技突飞猛进。为了满足社会的发展需要以及学生的兴趣与爱好，为了能更直接、迅速地了解世界科技发展的最新动态，学生必须具备良好的英语语言能力。英语语言的能力包括听、说、读、写的能力，其中阅读能力至关重要。对于大多数中国学习者而言，英语的主要用途在于获取知识和有效信息，以利于更好地分析问题与解决问题，方便工作与生活。由此可见，提高学生英语阅读能力至关重要。在英语教学大纲中也明确将培养学生的阅读能力作为英语教学目标之一。因此，初中英语阅读教学是英语教学中极为重要的部分。我们英语教学的目的就是要培养学生独立阅读的能力和应用语言的能力。提高英语阅读能力的途径是多方面的，本文从以下个方面阐述这个问题。 一、激发学生英语阅读兴趣，提高学生阅读的积极性 兴趣是最好的老师，这不仅是对中学生学习英语的鞭策，也是提高学生阅读能力的有效途径。本着“以人为本”的教育理念，积极培养初中生英语学习兴趣，让学生在愉快情境中阅读英语，是新时期英语教和学的和谐与创新的体现。在英语课堂内，教师应时刻关注学生情感态度的发展，努力创造和谐、自然的课堂氛围,激励学生积极主动地参与课堂的各项活动，与老师进行良好的互动，从而达到提高学生阅读水平的目的。 在课外，教师要积极创造机会走进学生，了解学生的阅读情况，帮助学生解决阅读中的困难，对学生在阅读过程中遇到的障碍进行分析并解决，这样与学生之间的信任感加强了，对学生阅读情况了解更充分了，学生的阅读兴趣也在不知不觉中增强了。 比如，在考试结束后，及时找学生谈心，有针对性地对学生试卷中不应出错的阅读理解题目进行分析，让学生通过与他人进行对比、分析，查出自身不足，并提出行之有效的阅读策略。 二、重视词汇的积累 在英语学习过程中，词汇的积累是基本功，并且在阅读中扮演着相当重要的角色。平时教科书中的基础词汇的识记与收集，是初中生学习词汇的基本途径。另外，课外读物中的词语鲜活、实用、现代气息浓厚，如能将这些词语也纳入自己的“字典”，定能在英语阅读中更上一层楼。因此，在进行课外读物的阅读时，可以让学生将一些重要的词汇，优美的英语句子摘抄下来并尽可能记下来。例如：Maria taught the children to sing lively songs and perform short, funny plays to cheer them up. The father was almost mad at first, but the smiling faces of his children pleased him and made him happy again. 此段中有许多重点常用词汇：lively, perform, funny, cheer up, at first, pleased, happy等。学生经过长期的积累，持之以恒就会增加词汇量，这样有利于减少阅读障碍，提高阅读速度，提高获取有效信息的能力。 此外，词汇是人们对世界的认识的基础载体,学生的词汇知识多数来自于大量的阅读,新学的词汇如果没有派上用场，便会削弱学生学习词汇的积极性。教师在选择阅读材料 时应注重选取含有最新词汇的文章，紧跟时代步伐，贴合学生的生活实际，这样能够帮助学生巩固所学的最新词汇，极大程度上满足学生学习词汇的心理需求，使学生获得学有所用的成功感。 三、设计阅读任务，强化阅读训练 在初中英语教学中，每一个话题都有一个阅读训练，其设计主旨在于提高学生利用英语阅读获取信息、解决问题的能力。在这个阅读训练中，教师可以根据文章内容设计问题，让学生抢答，或者进行话题讨论。 在初中英语教科书中，每个话题的Section C中都设计了阅读文章。教师可以在学生预习前设计好问题，让学生带着问题去预习这篇文章。在教学这篇文章时，训练学生通过主要的词汇复述文章内容。学生在讨论中获得了用英语交际的真实感受，真正发挥了英语的教育功能。 四、要善于应用阅读技巧，提高阅读效率 首先，要重视文章的题目和文章的首句及结构。因为文章的题目就是文章的意图，文章的内容就是围绕主题展开。首句是文章的导入部分，点明作者写文章的意图、背景等。其次，培养巧妙的猜词能力。有些人在阅读时一遇到生词便立刻去查词典。应鼓励学生利用学过的知识和技巧，根据所读文章的上下文去猜测新词的词义。比如:Unit6 Topic2的Section C中： When Darren finally pushed his way out, he noticed his friends were both out of sight, he was too frightened to know what to do. His heat was beating fast. Slowly he walked toward a huge rock beside the road and sat there sadly. He didn’t raise his head until someone called him. It was Kangkang.“Oh,Dareen! There you are! It’s great to see you!”As soon as the three boys saw eachother, they all jumped up and down happily. 这段文章中新词汇要鼓励学生去猜测push，direction，step，toe , notice ,sight ,beat ,slowly 等词语的意思。经过这样的反复训练，学生的理解和判断力有所提高，遇到生词也想去猜测了，节约时间，提高阅读效率，并且如果猜对了，还能让学生在此过程中获得学习的乐趣与成就感。 第三，培养独立的分析能力。对难度稍大的问题要在反复精读短文的基础上，认真分析，找出答案。根据提出的问题划出短文中与之有关的句子，以便正确解出问题的答案。如果学生掌握了这些阅读技巧就如虎添翼，基本具备了独立阅读的能力，在今后的阅读中将会受益匪浅。 五、培养良好的阅读习惯 学生的阅读习惯是在英语学习中慢慢的形成的，需要教师耐心地引导，是一个漫长的过程。首先应培养学生平时自觉阅读的良好习惯———预习。预习课文是养成阅读习惯、提高阅读能力的一条有效途径。学习课文的目的是培养学生获取新词汇信息的能力，如果预习自学的方法得当，就能逐渐养成良好的阅读习惯，从而为提高阅读能力打下良好基础。初中英语教材中的课文，大多是妙趣横生的小故事并且图文并茂，自学起来不是负担，而是一种乐趣。因此学生在老师教授课文之前，应该自觉地先预习课文，依照预习目标反复阅读课文，做到：上新课前先学习好生词和短语，理解课文大意；找出文章的疑点、难点；针对提出的问题找出答案和重点句。 初中生同时还要克服以下几种不良的阅读习惯： （1）学生在平时阅读过程的有声朗读，这样阅读的效率会受发音的速度限制，要努力培养成默读的习惯。 （2）阅读能力差的学生经常会出现回头读的现象，慢慢就养成了重读的习惯，要解决这个问题，要及时引导学生阅读时注意控制自己不重复阅读，尽量做到读一眼就读懂，掌握文章的大意，实在不行就采取遮盖训练法，学生就会改掉重读的毛病。 （3）有的学生一碰到生词就求助于字典，不仅影响了阅读的速度，而且还容易打断阅读思路，大大影响了阅读的速度，降低阅读效率。因此要引导学生采用猜测或推理判断的方法,解决阅读中遇到的生词，这样可以提高阅读的效率，同时也培养了阅读的能力。 总之，提高学生的阅读能力非一日之功，需要每一位英语教师脚踏实地地去努力，教师要不断地激发学生的阅读兴趣，在英语教学中让学生积累尽可能多的词汇，在指导阅读过程中不但要“授之以鱼”，而且要“授之以渔”，让学生在阅读学习中培养良好的习惯，体会阅读的情趣，体验阅读所带来的成功的激情，最终有效地提高学生的阅读理解能力，这才是真正意义上的阅读。

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
_______________
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的.) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
